He dwelleth in light inaccessible and full of glory. No man hath seen Him at any time, and no man can see Him. Yet we are told by Christ, who was the brightness of the Father's glory and the express image of his person, in the Sermon on the Mount, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall tee God" not with tho bo dily eye, but with the inward spiritual vision of the heart, with tho eye of Faith. Such sight is not for those who are immersed in worldliness, and whose affections are wholly absorbed by tho thintrs which porish in tho using. Tho essential pre-rcquisito for this sight, is faith a belief that God is, and that Ho is the rewarder of all who diligently seek Him. Without this, no man can obey the first great commandment, "Thou shalt love tho Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." Most of us worship only what wo can see tho material blessings which God has bestowed upon the world. We rise up early and sit up late we cat tho bread of carefulness, to amass wealth, or gain the praiso of our fellow men, forgetful of tho command to lay up our "treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt," and regardless of the honor which God bestows. Wo reverse tho rule which the Scripture enforces, to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, that all other blessings may bo added unto us. We do not beliove this saying; if wo did, we would endeavor to make our lives conform to it. We forget God and disobey his commandments, and hope to bo blessed in our wanderings from Him. Vain hope! God's ancient people, the Israelites, in their journcyings through tho wilderness, tried tho Bame course; and all men in succeeding ages who havo sought worldly prosperity alone, have proved that such a course invariably ends in failure. He that would "seo God" must endeavor to become pure in heart and life. He must seek to make his lifo conform to the life of Christ, who was without Bin, and through whom alone we can gain access to God, our Father in heaven, in whom wo live and move and have our being Tho United Brethren Church has 30 Confer ences, the larger proportion of which are in Ohio and Indiana. The whole ntimbor of mortv bcrs in tho 24 Western Conferences is 05,433 moron He Hie mist vcar. 17.010.

The Brethren havo one Conference in Minnesota, one in Kansas, one in Nebraska, one in Missouri and one in Oregon. Rev. J. Mcllhcnny, D. D., has been for fifty years pastor of a church in Lcwisburg, Va. He still labors in his pastoral charge. The Boston Recorder says: Rov. Emerson Davis, D. D. of Westfield, has had in preparation for several years a work which is designed to includo a brief sketch of all deceased pastors of all orthodox Congregational churches in New England, from 160 to tiro time of its publication. Tho townB in which tho churches exist will be alphabetically arranged, and the biographical sketches may bo found by turning to the town or towns in which a pastor ministered. The work, which we judge must be one of great value, is not yet so far completed that the time of its publication can be announced. It will be called "Tho Pastors of New England." Rev. Henry B. Chapin, lato of Steubenville, 0., has accepted a unanimous call from the Third Presbyterian church of Trenton, N. J., and removed to his new field of labor. Tho New Bedford Mercury says: Rev. Mr. Craig, as wo are informed, finds his "Boy's Prayer Meeting" one of the most interesting occasions of religious interest during the week. About thirty boys from 10 to 15 years of age, nro usually in attendance, each one presiding in his turn and conducting the mooting appropriately. It was established about bix mouths since, and has been kept up witli unabated intorest. Another new religious sect has sprung up at Concord, N. H., which is prolific of much phenomena. Its members believe in a community of goods, in not mingling in the world's affairs, in perfection and the speedy coming of Christ. They abido by the marringe contract. Tho recent Methodist Protestant Convention at Springfield, Ohio, adopted the following with only two negativo votes: Resolved, That indisputable facts, t he inductions of sound logic, the dictates of Christian prudence and enlightened senso of our duty to God and man, justify and warrant this Convention, in the namo of tho several Annual Conferences herein represented, to now declare all official connection, co-oporation, and official fellowship with and between said Conferences, and such Conf'eronccs and Churches, within tho Methodist Protestant Association, as prnctico or tolerate slave-holding and slave-trading, as specified in said memorial, to bo now and for ever dissolved. A Veteran Preacher. At tho recent Ohio (Methodist) Conference, in a love-feast, tho venerable Rev. Jacob Young said: "I should bo a very ungrateful man, if I did not say something for Christ, On the 17th of February, 1802, I hung a pair of saddle bags on my left arm, and started for my first circuit. I have traveled much, labored hard, and had many trials. But this never discouraged mo. I am now finishing gloriously, never happier in all my life than I am this day. Brethren, I have now attended my fifty-seventh annual Conference. Through a kind Providence, I have never missed ono since I started. But, brethren, I do (ixpect that when you nssomblo in Columbus, next year, I will bo in glory. If you read of my death in the Advocate, don't shed toars. And now, brethren, before I sit down, I say brethren, farewell. Declination. The Catholic Telegraph states that tho Bulls for tho consecration of its senior editor as coadjutor to tho Bishop of Pittsburgh, arrived lately, but its very reverend brother declined the honor and responsibility of the miter, and respectfully returned the documents to Rome. Baptist. Tho Ohio State Baptist Convention was recently held at Granvillo, Licking county. Twenty missionaries are in the employ of the Baptist church throughout the State, through whoso labors four hundred and seventy four persons have been added to the general mcm-crsliip.New Mission. The bleak and forbidding coast of Labrador has been taken as a mission field bv an American Christian, Mr. Charles Carpenter of Greenfield, Mass. Mr. Carpenter on a visit for health, found there a few Christians on an Island, separated from all religious institutions, who besought him with tears to send them hooks. The American Board being unable to send him, then, a Missionary Society in Montreal has furnished the means, and he has gone to Labrador to preach. A Preacher Interrupted. Dr. Dixon lately preached in Livorpool a funeral discourse on the death of Dr. Bunting. In spito of his infirmity of blindness he is said to havo for ninety minutes held an auditory in wrapt and wondering attontion as he portrayed the mind, the heart, tho life, tho passive and active virtues of Dr. Hunting. A most ludicrous incident occurred while Dr. Dixon was delivering his sermon. In speaking of tho removal of Dr. Bunting, and others, he said it seemed to him as though the great men of the Methodist Church were passing away one after another, and there wcro none rising up to fill their places. Tho instant this opinion was expressed, a good old woman in tho congregation shouted out at the top of her voico, "And, bless tho Lord, that's a lie." This eorroctivo remark of tho zealous mother in Israel so disconcerted tho speaker, that he was unablo to proceed. At length he recovered himselt, and without noticing the interruption in any way, pressed on to the close ot his commemorative discourse. Protestant Pi-nuc Worship in Japan. A correspondent of tho Boston Traveler reports at considerable length, tho exercises of Protestant public worship, held for the first timo in Japan, nt tho house of Townscnd Harris, Esq., U. S. Consul, on Sunday, Aug. 1st, on occasion of the ratification of the new treaty with tho Japanese Government, securing to Amorican citizens per fect freedom to practice and promulgate tneir religion throughout tho empire. Iho rooms were filled witli ollicers nnu men iroin tne u. is. frigates Powhatan and Mississippi. They sang to familiar tunes the hymns "Welcome, swoot tiny of rest," nnd "From all who dwell below tlio skies." Tho sermon, from 1 Thessalonians i. 0, 10 was desitrncd to illustrate by historical lacts Iho power of Iho Gospel in tlio nrsi ages oi Christianity, in overthrowing idolatry inGrcecc, in Rome, and throughout tho world; and then to account for its temporary defeat in these charming islands, nnd this great empire, by a condensed narration of tho introduction of the Gospel by the Portuguese, about tho year 1545, nnd its final expulsion in 1020. In tho year 1587, there wcro not less than three hundred Catholic missionaries in Japan, two hundred and fifty churches, nnd three hundred thousnnd native Christians, whilo tho missionaries asserted that they exceeded even this largo figure. Besides two colleges, they had twoscminaries for the education of young nobles for tlio Driest hood. Sineularly, tlio same year, 1020, that Chris- tiaiiitv VBH banished from Japan, it was intrO' tluccd'inlo the Now World by tho Pilgrims; and n tl,n nn nf these Pilcriitis brinff it back nnd plant it again in the soil from which it had been rooted out. What a charming country t How denso the population!

How admirablo a field for Christiancul-turo! State Finances--No. 3. Mr. Editor: I see in your weekly issuo of the 30th ult., you have taken up tho general subject of our State financial policy. I had designed pursuing the subject in the line of thought in which I havo commenced ; which embraces in its scopo, a wider field than merely our State policy. It is not only idle, but suicidal, for Ohio or any other one State, to attempt to run counter to tho policy of the surrounding States on a subject of national policy like this. On reflection, I do not think the courses of our disquisition will interfere with each other. Certainly they will not run counter. I will, therefore, pursue the course I have marked out for myself. I propose to myself to call public attention to tho uses of money, and to tho proposition, measured by the nmounts of industrial products, and of commercial exchanges, essential to bring into full and healthful activity the energies of a country. I take the state of things in our own State as a practical illustration which many can sec, and those who cannot see can feel. I call attention to the condition and progress of things in adjacent States and Territories, to illustrate, by practical results, the working of a policy which, in tho laudations of its advocates, is to bring in the real ago of gold. In a former number, I estimated tho amount of taxes Levied In Ohio In 18.18, at ?!l,47.1,117 Canal tolls, 4c, added oOO.iXKl Total ?'j,!)7:i,ll7 Specie In tho Ohio Iwnks in Aug tl,OSS,025 Ohl" hank paper in circulation 7,fiSH12'.il Total UV'T.VIKi Deficiency to meet public dues 100,101 I seo by your last that my estimate of the taxes was not much if any too high. My estimate of canal tolls, &o., was nearly ono half too high. The cause must be found in tho want of money to give lifo nnd action to tho energies dormant in the country. I called attention to the fact that in tho Northwest Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska only local, individual, or municipal corporation notes now perform tho offlco of money, specio having been withdrawn, whero recently was a more thinly expanded bubble upon gold than this country ever in its history experienced upon any kind of paper money, and where certain gold financiors boasted that whatever revulsions might come to bank-ridden districts of country, they would never be moved, because gold would not depreciate. Now, if I am correctly informed, and I think I am, those same gold sticklers are as zealous for tho shinplaster movement as they were for the other, and in some places have suspended the collection of corpooration taxes; for the only money they have would bo locked up in local treasuries, from which they could not again force it into circulation nt par. I asserted in the former articlo that tho inevitable consequence of our national policy was to draw specie from tho interior to the exporting ports, a d that tho most remote districts would be the first drained. Since writing that articlo, , havo received somo official statistical information which I add here. Every one may draw his own inferences. I wish I could make my tables much more extensive. By tho official report of tho Auditor of State of tho State 'of Illinois of November 1, 1858, the circulation of the Illinois Banks, was $5,-707,018. Specie in hand, 209,585.87. Now here is a bank circulation of over 5,700,000, having a specie basis of less than five cents on the dollar to secure its redemption, and that in a State whoso affairs havo always been under the control of Democratic financiers. Bad enough, but her circulation is, according to orthodox Democratio standard, worth just four cents and seventy-two hundredths on the dollar moro than that of Iowa, a State always hitherto blessed with unadulterated Democratio philosophy. I have endeavored to ascertain tho state of the Banks in Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan, but have failed to do so. By the November report of the Banks in Ohio, I find that since August 1st, that is, in three months, Their specie has decreased JISO.SSW.M Their circulation has Increased 4;V2,ni:i.50 Khnwinir an acirn-irate nt Nov. lit, of. 0,8tlo,74.'.rt2 Public dues levied during 18.',H, Including tolls.. 0,758,718.110 Excess of money over taxes, Ac S107.W7. (12 I am pointed to the accumulation of specie in our exporting ports, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Now Orleans. I have, and have before expressed, doubts of the verity of thoso reports; but aside from that view of the subject, whence, havo the New York City Banks, for instance, swelled their specie in a year from five to twenty-seven millions! The fable of the bull who declined visiting the royal beast in his palace because he saw the tracks of many entering, but of nono returning, has some points not inappropriate to the question in hand. If it is accumulated at those points, it is because it is in the course of commerce withdrawn from the interior. And now comes the question, is a policy which drains tho specio from the coun try a good policy? And another: Is a policy which strips tho country of specio and at the same time requires publio dues to bo paid in specio, consistent with itself or with good gov ernment? We sent nhroad during tho last fiscal year over 52,000,000 in specie. Had we so balanc ed our commercial operations as to retain that at home, and to add 20,000,000 per annum to our circulation to meet nnd provido for our iu creasing population, and our expanding pro ductions and internal commerce, wo might con- sistently, those of us who preferred it, talk o public dues being collected and disbursed in specie. Not then, however, collcctod in ono nnd dislmrsed in tho other. Thcro is no charm in an iron safe which can transmute bank bills. however eood,?into gold or silver, Let us us see how specio nnd population, in 1835, in a few Westorn States, compared with the same in 1858. Tho comparison with prodtic tions nnd commorco would bo still more againsi tho present: ls:i5. Missouri.... Illinois Indiana Michigan... Ohii Specie.

STATIST1CUS. Steobenvilie, Dec. '58. The Illinois Election -The Senatorshlp and Popular Sovereignty. Editor Ohio State Joubnal: The Illinois election, of 1858, is over. It has been an exciting one, and of unusual interest, throughout the Union. The contest was for tho Senate. The arbiters were tho voters of the Stato of Illinois. To them the question was put, Shall Douglas or Lincoln be the Senator to represent the State of Illinois in the Senate of the United States? Upon this question, have the people of that State voted. That is the question which, by those votes, they have decided. How has it been decided? Which of the parties has triumphed? Douglas and his friends claim the victory. They aro jubilant over the vote. Let us try the question by the central, cardinal, distinguishing article in the Douglus orecd "Popular Sovereignty." The people must be obeyed. From their decision there is no appeal. All should submit to thoir will. Upon this principle Douglas took his stand against tho President of his party. Upon this principle, he opposed the nd-mission of Kansas with tho Lccompton Constitution. It mndo no difference to him, that tho convention approved. The people of tho Territory had disapproved! How is it in Illinois? The people, by a decisive majority, have voted that Lincoln, and not Douglas, should be their Senator. Every friend of Douglas in the Illinois Legislature is pledged by the platform of his party by the thousand times repeated declarations of Douglas, tho leader, the standard bearer of his party, to cast his vote for Lincoln, and not for Douglas. Tho same rulo that would mako this a Douglas victory, would have admitted Kansas with the Le-compton Constitution. Tho convention recommended there, what tho people liid condemned by a vote. In Illinois, to elect Douglas, tho Legislature must vote for, what the people have voted against. If Douglas is to stand or fall by his own favorite rulo, he must fall. St. Clairsville, Dec. 0, '58. C. A Curlons Scrap of History. Mr. Editor: The Journal of Deo. 1st and 2d contained a sketch of Elfrida, daughter of Olga, Earl of Devonshire, from ReynoUls'i Miscellany. The following bit of history, pertaining to a late representative of this family, may not bo unintoresting in connection. Tho article was originally furnished for a paper somo hundreds of miles distant. The facts aro gleaned in part from a work entitled "Romance of the Peerage," and in part from tlio personal observations of an English resident. "Tho lato Duke of Devonshire, William Cavendish, D. C. L. was a surreptitious heir to the estates and titlos he had onjoyed through lifo. The fraud by which ho succeeded to tho dukedom and its princely revenues, was this: The Duchess, his reputed mother, gave birth to a female child within the hour thata male child was born of anothor woman under tho same roof. The children were exchanged; but one of tho physioians who attondod thoir birth and assisted in tho fraud, having somo quarrel with tho old Duke, when tho heir apparent was about xtccn years old, disclosed tho transaction. The Earl of Burlington, another Cavendish, and next in succession to the dukedom, con sented, for the honor of the family, that tho reputed son should succoed to tho estate and titlos, on condition that he should not marry. Ho bo succeeded, and dying unmarried, the dukedom devolved on the presont Earl of Burlington. The London Dispatch related tho matter a few ye ars ago, and stated that the Duke had a left- hund marriago with a lady in the north of England, with whom he spent a part of every year. A left-handed, or morganatic marriago boing a continental institution, and not allowed by the laws of England, the term left-hand was probably intended as palliativo of an unlawful connexion. Since the demise of the Duke, a man has appeared who claims to be his soil and hoir, bv a private marriage. A Cavendish of the Burlington branch has made a communication to a London paper, in which ho says that he has no wish to deprive the aspirant of the honors of his birth, (an exquisite sarcasm,) but if he could prove that tho lato Duke had violated his engagement of celibacy, there was ample evidence that he had no legitimate claim to the es tate and honors he had onjoyed. Probably the Earl of Burlington is sccuro in the Duko- dom. But, alas ! for the sequel of tho late Duko's history. It turns out that ho who has boon Lord of Chatsworth, the most magnificent ducal pal ace in England, a learned, amiable and munificent peer of tho realm, was buried in the church yard of tho parish of Hardwick, without evon a headstone, and so is not permitted to repose in the tomb of tho Devonshire. Sic transit gloria mundi. Columbus, Dec. 8. The spiritual intercourse is certainly enlarg ing. A spirit, not long smco, waiteu on juugo Edmonds and wanted him to take n drink thro' an earthly medium. Tho Pawtuckot Oaielte relates the following pleasant incident of spiritual communication which quito exceeds the Judge's story: "An cnthusiastio believer was relating to a skeptic tho spiritual performances to which he could testify, and among othor things said thnt on a certain occasion tho spirit ot his wile, who had been dend several years, returned to him, nnd seating herself upon his knoo, put his arm around him, and kissed him asjmuch to her gratification as she used to when living. 'You do not moan to say,' rcmarkod tlioskcptio, 'that tho spirit of your wife really embraced nnd kissed you?' 'No, not exactly that,' replied tlio believer, 'hut tho spirit took possession of tho body of a female medium, and through her cmbaced and kissed mo.' We prcsnmo that bolicvcrs aro often as willingly decoived ns this man was." SonnutiM CmKB. Tho Nnshvillo (Tenn.) Homestead, says that besides tho excellent syrup and sugar made from the Chinese sugar cane, thoro is yet another article obtained from it which is of a pleasant, taste, and doubtless healthy in its consequences. It is by putting tho expressed juice of tho cano into any clean wood or glass vessol, allowing it to stand ten or twelve days, when it assumes the nppcarnnco of limpid wntor, nnd fit for use. The llavoris similar to our best cider, and wo supposo might be proporly called cane cider. Domestic Yeast. Ladies who are in the habit (and a most laudable and comfortnblo habit it is) of mnking domcstio bread, cake, &o., are informed thnt they can easily manufacture their own yenst by attending to the following directions: Boil one pound of good flour, a quarter of a pound of brown sugar, and a lit t lo salt, in two gallons of water, for one hour. When milk warm, bottle it, and cork It close. It will be fit for use in twenty-four hours. Ono pint of this ycaBt will make 18 pounds of bread. A Quaker Poet on Amusements. Somo timo since, Whittier, the Quaker poet, in troduced into a temperance 'meeting at Ames-bury, the place of his residence, a resolution encouraging the cultivation of sooial amuse- mentB ns a security for the young against the temptations to intemperance. A dyspeptic and unhuppy clergyman expresssed great horror at the doctrine, and rebuked it from his pulpit. This called out the following letter from Whittier to the newspaper of the place, the Villager, in which the true idea of innocent and benefi cial amusement is defined about as well as it can be. The Quakers of a former age were about as ascetic as the Puritans themselves in opposition to amusements, but the Quakers of the present day, like other Christians, begin to understand the matter better and to see that human nature is not a thing to be crushed out, but dircotcd and developed. Whittier' s articlo is as follows: 1 have learned with much surprise that a resolution adopted at the late temperance meeting, in this place, has been objected to, as liable to be understood as favoring a class of social amusements by no means calculated to promote the moral health of the community. As the author of tho resolution in question, permit me to say, that neither tho langungo of that resolu tion, nor the tastes, habits and well known opinions of its writer, justify any such inference. It recognized the fact of thedesire of t lie young for excitement and amusement, and that that desire was too ofton gratified at tho ex pense of sobriety nnd sound morality. 1 he sole aim of tho resolution was to induce those more experienced nnd better established in the principles of morality to direct that natural, but too often perverted desire, to objects in themselves nnocent and rational; to watch over and regu late, in a spirit of kindness nnd sympathy, tiie nmuscmcnts nnd social pleasures of tlio young, discountenance everything inconsistentwith tho maxims of a morality strict without asceticism, and Christian rnthcr than Pharisaical. I do not believo iu tho propriety of leaving the young to the unrestricted nnd unregulated exercise of thoir love for recreation and sociul en joyment, nor on tho other hand do I believe in tho wisdom or practicability of its cntiro re pression and crushing out. But I do believo in such a combination of authority and sympathy, of wise restraint where necessary, and general encouragement and guidance within proper limits, ns may bo made, under Him, who can alone givo success to human effort, nn important means of promoting tlio temperance and moral health of the youngand inexperienced. I would throw open as far as possiblo, to this class, the curious and beautiful in art, science and literature tho telescopic revelations of astronomy the wonders of geology the lithography, of tho eternal finger on tho primal formations. I would open to them new Bources of enjoyment in the studies of natural history and botany, and show them the almost magical results of experimental chemistry. I would givo them every opportunity to listen to lectures nnd discourses from variously gifted orators and thinkers.I would encourage reading circles healthful sports and exorcises nnd excursions amid tho serene beauty of nature, so woll calculated to exalt the mind towards that which St. Augustine speaks of as the "Eternal Deauty always new and always old." I would promote libraries and debating clubs, whatover, in short, promises to unito social en joyment with the culture of the mind and heart, and the healthful development of a sound mind in a sound body. I do not undervalue other instrumentalities, especially tho higher ones of a religions nature. But at the samo time I believe that a cheerful, social Christian is better than a sour ascotio one. The good old Puritan, Richard Baxter, used to regret his own melan choly and gloomy temperament, nrising mainly from bodily lnhrmity, nnd in the latter part oi his lifo strovo to introduce a more cheerful disposition among his religious friends. "Truo religion," ho says, "is not a matter of fears, tears and scruples: it doth principally consist in obc-dienco, lovo nnd joy." For myself, so far from advocating laxity of moral discipline, I strongly deprecate the li cense nnd weak indulgence which prevails nt the present time. I believe in law and order parental authority tho unescapable responsibilities of the adult members of society in respect to the youngor. But wisdom is profitable to direct; and it is by no means wise to disregard, even for a good object, the natural laws which govern mind and matter. Unnatural repression in one direction is sure to lead to a corresponding protuberance of deformity in another. The folly of the Flathead Indian mother who binds with bark tho forehead of her infant until the frontal portion of the head is forced backward in idiotio prominence, finds a parallel in all efforts for moral reform which overlook the great laws of our being. Washing for Diamonds in Georgia. A correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle says: You will be surprised, probably to learn that arrangements are now being made to oommence washing for diamonds in Georgia; yet it is true. Two localities liave been found where the true matrix, with nil its accompanying materials, are found in abundance; and from the upper section in Hall and other counties, several have been found of tho finest quality. The clnstio sandstone (Itacolumito, the truest matrix of the diamond) extends quito across the State; but diamonds have been found only in those places where gold washings are carried on, being found in the sands of the rilllcrs with tho gold; elsewhero they havo never been sought after. Tho other locality hns but recently been discovered, and is limited in extent merely a protru sion of tho sandstone and magnctio and specular oxide of iron through tho surrounding pyiric t auriferous) slates, together with nnmonso quantities of Stella talo of unparalleled beauty, associated with magnificent crystals ot rutile from a few lines to four inches in diameter. Tho Itacolumito is thickly imbedded with splendid crystals of Inzulito of three difforont forms. The lazulite is a very rare mineral, found in but few places in tho world; is one of tho accompanying minerals of tho Brazilian Diamond Mines. Oold exists in tho syritio stntes on tho south sido of the mountain, which is a corresponding formation with tho celebrated Dorn Mino in South Carolina. Thoy also exhibit every external evidence of the existenco of copper, lead and silvor. That diamonds abound hero, there can bo no doubt; yet they may be so scarco as to render it unprofitable to mino for them alone. In Hull county they are found in tho gold-de posit washings, nnd cost them nothing to find them, comparatively. A letter from Paris says: "Tho expense caused tho Emperor by his visit to Coinpitlgno is described to bo prodigious; nil tho household is there, and tho household is vast in number, nnd dear to keep; the hunting establishment is there, nnd it oxeceds in number and mngnificence, and consequently in cost thnt which Charles X. used to maintain and yet dearly did that royal Bourbon love hunting, and right roynl was his vene-rie; guests of high degree are there, and have troops ot lackics witli tnem; ana last, but not least, the cntiro companies of various Paris theatres ore tnken down twice or thrice a week to nmuse the distinguished party; and what in pay and presents, nnd travoling nnd ' incidental expenses,' those companies absorb a good deal. Nor is it only tho Emperor's purse that bloods; the guests themsolves have to buy uniforms of green nnd gold for the hunts, and the ladies are required to appear in two new dresses a day." Salk of a Circus. It is said that Dan Rico, the American humorist, has sold out his interest in the establishment known as "Dan ltico's Great Show," of which he owned two-thirds. It is also stated that he received $25,000 in cash and a traotof land in Toxas containing 17,741 nores, on which he intends to settle many poor families, From Japan. The following extracts from a letter written by Mr. Harris, the enterprising Consul General General at Japan, to an officer of the Navy who was in the Japan Expedition, will be read with interest: 17. S. Consulate General, Simodn, Japan, July 12, '58. J Dear Sir: Your letter of March 6, 1857, did not reach me until the 20th of August last. The reason I have not written you in reply before this is that I have had no opportunity of dispatching any letters since the 11th of September, 1857; and am even now quite ignorant of the time I shall be able to forward you this. I havo suffered much from ill health since my arrival here, which has almost paralyzed my efforts in collecting objects of na'ural history. I am now recovoring, and hope soon to Vs quito well. I have visited the city of Yedo twice, and have had an audience of the Emperor. I passed nearly six months iu Yedo, during my two visits, nnd succeeded at last in making a commercial treaty that fully opens Japan to our enterprising citizens, and brings Japan fairly into tho great family of nations. Of course I cannot give you the particulars of tho treaty until it has been approved by government, but I may bo permitted to remark that when the treaty shall bo published, it will show I was not forgetful of our navy. Yedo is a large city cf two story woodon buildings. Tho streets aro generally wide and well sewered, but are not paved. It is probablo that tho population is between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000. There is neither beauty or splendor to bo found thcro. The exterior of tho houses is tho same ns those you saw at Simoda and Kanngawa, nnd tho interiors are quite as destitute of furniture or ornament. Even tho palace of tlio Emperor is built of unpaintcd wood, and is equally bare of furniture. The golden columns and roof's Bpoken of by old writers havo vanished, if they ever existed, and I nm assured by tlio Japanasc that their buildings nnd modo of living aro precisely tho same they have been for the last five hundred years. I am, sir, yours most respectfully, TOWNS END HAKRIS, Consul General. Art and'iterature. Wick kd Memoirs. European royalties are to bo fluttered in a week or two by a very extraordinary book. The Empress Cntharino of Russia was a most energetic personage. She could not bear to be idle, and yet disliked the society bf moro than one person nt a time; and bo, to kill time, in the intervals of business and sensuality, sho wrote her memoirs, nnd, what is worse, sho told tho truth. Tho manuscript was found in her specially private book nt her'dcath. It was for many years kept a profound secret, a family court mystery ; but Alexander, not liking to havo it near lain, placed it among the State archives with Peter's will and such other awful documents. Some one copied verbatim the memoirs of the vicious Empress, nnd tho copy was placed in tho hands of a Mr. Herzcn, a Russian millionaire, who, years ago, escaped into British protection, having previously got his property into the British funds, and who now carries on nn untiring war against the Russian despotism a journal he publishes in the Russian language, selling secrotly many thousands among the Russians themselves scattered in France and Germany, nnd even among Russians in Russia. This Herzcn has, of course, grasped at the memoirs as a new weapon and a new.articlc in his propaganda; nnd the firm of Trubuer & Co., backed by tho sovereigns of tho ex-Russ, dare to publish the book in French. Catharine, truo to her sex, makes many awkward revelations, but ono affects the honor of tho Imperial family in a terrible way. Mio declares emphatically that her husbnnd, the Czar, was not the papa of his children ! Bold in Catharine and damaging to the Czar certainly but sho effectually "clinches" the confession by mentioning the nnmo of the father of her successor, Paul, and thus it comes out that the royal house of Romanoff now reigning is illegitimate, and is, therefore, an usurpation. In Russia they may not think much of it even if it is true and not a vindictivo canard; so many othor royal houses, however, have intermarried with the Romanoffs thnt there will a very general disgust in the "higlicst circles," especially in Germany, where pedigree is of even more consequence than tobacco. Tho book will undoubtedly bo one of the sensations of the winter, and may lead to protocolling and imperial domand for the surrender of Ilerzen, and the hanging nnd drawing and quartering of presumptuous Trubuer & Co. Boston Post. Aoassiz as a Sportsman TiieMicroscopb and the Gun. Prof. Agnssiz was a membcrof a party of Bciontifio men and litterateurs, from Boston nnd its vicinity, whose campingout laBt summer in the Adirondack region, is celebrated by a writer in the last Atlantic. Among other sports these tavans indulged in shooting, and in the absence of game more adapted to stir up the blood, it was their custom to fire at the butt end of a junk bottle. It was found that Agassi was the best shot in tho party, and not only that, but n very excellent shot, whose ball went straight homo ovcry time, guided by n steady hand, and an eye thnt wandered not a hair's breadth from the mark. And yet the distinguished naturalist was no sportsman, had never practiced with firearms, nnd his skill was merely the result of long practice in the use of the microscope. Tho muscles of tho cyo and of the hand had beon brought under such control, and disciplined to such accuracy in the use of this instrument, that the professor found himself unexpectedly bearing tho palm in an untried art. Science had re warded his devotion to her causo by endowing l:im with a now accomplishment. Mr. Palmer is to enter, during this ensuing year into tho department of historical scripture. He is to prepare for tlio family of Governor Marcy a portrait bust of that distinguished statesman ; and ho is to nchiove a more difficult labor in the bust of Alexander Hamilton, which ho is to mould for the library of Hamilton Fish. It is well that the enduring record of these men is committed to a chisel that will mako the mar-blo a truthful ns woll as beautiful perpetuation of feature. During Mr. Palmer's summer rcsidonce at Aurora, ho lost an interesting child, who bore the name of tho sculptor's intimnto friend, that gifted painter, Church. This artist has drawn, t'n memoriam, upon a calm and plnoid lake, the setting of a singlo star. Tho poncil that could, as no ono else in all the range of delineation, place Niagara on the canvas, gives to the gentle and mournfully associate subject a beauty which will make it of tho moBt valued of memorials. And such are tho monuments that will endure when churchyard and cemetery are obliterate in thoir decay. The N nines of Newspapers. Newspapers pick up thoir names, often by imitation, conscious or unconscious, of old papers. Thus tho New Orleans "Picayune," nom-cnclator of many subsequent Picayunes, was called by the slang namo for tho coin for which it was sold just upon the samo principle that the first "Gazotto" was named in Venice from tho coin Gacote, which wo translate as a Venetian farthing. "Journal" was tho natural name for a daily paper, but it has been without reosfln adopted by wcoklics ami monthlies, rrom it other peoplo with book-keeping ideas have dorived tho names of "Day-Books'1 nnd "Lodgers." Many "Pass Books" might have been named, proporly onough, in the same way. The " Globe" was another natural name for a cos. mopolitnn newspapor. From that aftor tho manner of canting heraldry naturally grew tho "Atlas," as tho name of a paper which could sustain tho Globo on its shoulders. Since that tho word Atlas has deservedly become bo favorite a namo, that to most readers it suggests a nowspapcr rather than a mountain or a giant. It would not be surprising if the Boston publio supposed that Col. Schouler or Mr. Haydon had some original connection with the naming of the Atlantic Ocoan. Boston Adv.

He dwelleth in light inaccessible and full of glory. No man hath seen Him at any time, and no man can see Him. Yet we are told by Christ, who was the brightness of the Father's glory and the express image of his person, in the Sermon on the Mount, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall tee God" not with tho bo dily eye, but with the inward spiritual vision of the heart, with tho eye of Faith. Such sight is not for those who are immersed in worldliness, and whose affections are wholly absorbed by tho thintrs which porish in tho using. Tho essential pre-rcquisito for this sight, is faith a belief that God is, and that Ho is the rewarder of all who diligently seek Him. Without this, no man can obey the first great commandment, "Thou shalt love tho Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." Most of us worship only what wo can see tho material blessings which God has bestowed upon the world. We rise up early and sit up late we cat tho bread of carefulness, to amass wealth, or gain the praiso of our fellow men, forgetful of tho command to lay up our "treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt," and regardless of the honor which God bestows. Wo reverse tho rule which the Scripture enforces, to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, that all other blessings may bo added unto us. We do not beliove this saying; if wo did, we would endeavor to make our lives conform to it. We forget God and disobey his commandments, and hope to bo blessed in our wanderings from Him. Vain hope! God's ancient people, the Israelites, in their journcyings through tho wilderness, tried tho Bame course; and all men in succeeding ages who havo sought worldly prosperity alone, have proved that such a course invariably ends in failure. He that would "seo God" must endeavor to become pure in heart and life. He must seek to make his lifo conform to the life of Christ, who was without Bin, and through whom alone we can gain access to God, our Father in heaven, in whom wo live and move and have our being Tho United Brethren Church has 30 Confer ences, the larger proportion of which are in Ohio and Indiana.

D., has been for fifty years pastor of a church in Lcwisburg, Va. He still labors in his pastoral charge. The Boston Recorder says: Rov. Emerson Davis, D. D. of Westfield, has had in preparation for several years a work which is designed to includo a brief sketch of all deceased pastors of all orthodox Congregational churches in New England, from 160 to tiro time of its publication. Tho townB in which tho churches exist will be alphabetically arranged, and the biographical sketches may bo found by turning to the town or towns in which a pastor ministered. The work, which we judge must be one of great value, is not yet so far completed that the time of its publication can be announced. It will be called "Tho Pastors of New England." Rev. Henry B. Chapin, lato of Steubenville, 0., has accepted a unanimous call from the Third Presbyterian church of Trenton, N. J., and removed to his new field of labor. Tho New Bedford Mercury says: Rev. Mr. Craig, as wo are informed, finds his "Boy's Prayer Meeting" one of the most interesting occasions of religious interest during the week. About thirty boys from 10 to 15 years of age, nro usually in attendance, each one presiding in his turn and conducting the mooting appropriately. It was established about bix mouths since, and has been kept up witli unabated intorest. Another new religious sect has sprung up at Concord, N. H., which is prolific of much phenomena. Its members believe in a community of goods, in not mingling in the world's affairs, in perfection and the speedy coming of Christ. They abido by the marringe contract. Tho recent Methodist Protestant Convention at Springfield, Ohio, adopted the following with only two negativo votes: Resolved, That indisputable facts, t he inductions of sound logic, the dictates of Christian prudence and enlightened senso of our duty to God and man, justify and warrant this Convention, in the namo of tho several Annual Conferences herein represented, to now declare all official connection, co-oporation, and official fellowship with and between said Conferences, and such Conf'eronccs and Churches, within tho Methodist Protestant Association, as prnctico or tolerate slave-holding and slave-trading, as specified in said memorial, to bo now and for ever dissolved. A Veteran Preacher. At tho recent Ohio (Methodist) Conference, in a love-feast, tho venerable Rev. Jacob Young said: "I should bo a very ungrateful man, if I did not say something for Christ, On the 17th of February, 1802, I hung a pair of saddle bags on my left arm, and started for my first circuit. I have traveled much, labored hard, and had many trials. But this never discouraged mo. I am now finishing gloriously, never happier in all my life than I am this day. Brethren, I have now attended my fifty-seventh annual Conference. Through a kind Providence, I have never missed ono since I started. But, brethren, I do (ixpect that when you nssomblo in Columbus, next year, I will bo in glory. If you read of my death in the Advocate, don't shed toars. And now, brethren, before I sit down, I say brethren, farewell. Declination. The Catholic Telegraph states that tho Bulls for tho consecration of its senior editor as coadjutor to tho Bishop of Pittsburgh, arrived lately, but its very reverend brother declined the honor and responsibility of the miter, and respectfully returned the documents to Rome. Baptist. Tho Ohio State Baptist Convention was recently held at Granvillo, Licking county. Twenty missionaries are in the employ of the Baptist church throughout the State, through whoso labors four hundred and seventy four persons have been added to the general mcm-crsliip.New Mission. The bleak and forbidding coast of Labrador has been taken as a mission field bv an American Christian, Mr. Charles Carpenter of Greenfield, Mass. Mr. Carpenter on a visit for health, found there a few Christians on an Island, separated from all religious institutions, who besought him with tears to send them hooks. The American Board being unable to send him, then, a Missionary Society in Montreal has furnished the means, and he has gone to Labrador to preach. A Preacher Interrupted. Dr. Dixon lately preached in Livorpool a funeral discourse on the death of Dr. Bunting. In spito of his infirmity of blindness he is said to havo for ninety minutes held an auditory in wrapt and wondering attontion as he portrayed the mind, the heart, tho life, tho passive and active virtues of Dr. Hunting. A most ludicrous incident occurred while Dr. Dixon was delivering his sermon. In speaking of tho removal of Dr. Bunting, and others, he said it seemed to him as though the great men of the Methodist Church were passing away one after another, and there wcro none rising up to fill their places. Tho instant this opinion was expressed, a good old woman in tho congregation shouted out at the top of her voico, "And, bless tho Lord, that's a lie." This eorroctivo remark of tho zealous mother in Israel so disconcerted tho speaker, that he was unablo to proceed. At length he recovered himselt, and without noticing the interruption in any way, pressed on to the close ot his commemorative discourse. Protestant Pi-nuc Worship in Japan. A correspondent of tho Boston Traveler reports at considerable length, tho exercises of Protestant public worship, held for the first timo in Japan, nt tho house of Townscnd Harris, Esq., U. S. Consul, on Sunday, Aug. 1st, on occasion of the ratification of the new treaty with tho Japanese Government, securing to Amorican citizens per fect freedom to practice and promulgate tneir religion throughout tho empire. Iho rooms were filled witli ollicers nnu men iroin tne u. is. frigates Powhatan and Mississippi. They sang to familiar tunes the hymns "Welcome, swoot tiny of rest," nnd "From all who dwell below tlio skies." Tho sermon, from 1 Thessalonians i. 0, 10 was desitrncd to illustrate by historical lacts Iho power of Iho Gospel in tlio nrsi ages oi Christianity, in overthrowing idolatry inGrcecc, in Rome, and throughout tho world; and then to account for its temporary defeat in these charming islands, nnd this great empire, by a condensed narration of tho introduction of the Gospel by the Portuguese, about tho year 1545, nnd its final expulsion in 1020. In tho year 1587, there wcro not less than three hundred Catholic missionaries in Japan, two hundred and fifty churches, nnd three hundred thousnnd native Christians, whilo tho missionaries asserted that they exceeded even this largo figure. Besides two colleges, they had twoscminaries for the education of young nobles for tlio Driest hood. Sineularly, tlio same year, 1020, that Chris- tiaiiitv VBH banished from Japan, it was intrO' tluccd'inlo the Now World by tho Pilgrims; and n tl,n nn nf these Pilcriitis brinff it back nnd plant it again in the soil from which it had been rooted out.

How admirablo a field for Christiancul-turo! State Finances--No. 3. Mr. Editor: I see in your weekly issuo of the 30th ult., you have taken up tho general subject of our State financial policy. I had designed pursuing the subject in the line of thought in which I havo commenced ; which embraces in its scopo, a wider field than merely our State policy. It is not only idle, but suicidal, for Ohio or any other one State, to attempt to run counter to tho policy of the surrounding States on a subject of national policy like this. On reflection, I do not think the courses of our disquisition will interfere with each other. Certainly they will not run counter. I will, therefore, pursue the course I have marked out for myself. I propose to myself to call public attention to tho uses of money, and to tho proposition, measured by the nmounts of industrial products, and of commercial exchanges, essential to bring into full and healthful activity the energies of a country. I take the state of things in our own State as a practical illustration which many can sec, and those who cannot see can feel. I call attention to the condition and progress of things in adjacent States and Territories, to illustrate, by practical results, the working of a policy which, in tho laudations of its advocates, is to bring in the real ago of gold. In a former number, I estimated tho amount of taxes Levied In Ohio In 18.18, at ?!l,47.1,117 Canal tolls, 4c, added oOO.iXKl Total ?'j,!)7:i,ll7 Specie In tho Ohio Iwnks in Aug tl,OSS,025 Ohl" hank paper in circulation 7,fiSH12'.il Total UV'T.VIKi Deficiency to meet public dues 100,101 I seo by your last that my estimate of the taxes was not much if any too high. My estimate of canal tolls, &o., was nearly ono half too high. The cause must be found in tho want of money to give lifo nnd action to tho energies dormant in the country. I called attention to the fact that in tho Northwest Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska only local, individual, or municipal corporation notes now perform tho offlco of money, specio having been withdrawn, whero recently was a more thinly expanded bubble upon gold than this country ever in its history experienced upon any kind of paper money, and where certain gold financiors boasted that whatever revulsions might come to bank-ridden districts of country, they would never be moved, because gold would not depreciate. Now, if I am correctly informed, and I think I am, those same gold sticklers are as zealous for tho shinplaster movement as they were for the other, and in some places have suspended the collection of corpooration taxes; for the only money they have would bo locked up in local treasuries, from which they could not again force it into circulation nt par. I asserted in the former articlo that tho inevitable consequence of our national policy was to draw specie from tho interior to the exporting ports, a d that tho most remote districts would be the first drained. Since writing that articlo, , havo received somo official statistical information which I add here. Every one may draw his own inferences. I wish I could make my tables much more extensive. By tho official report of tho Auditor of State of tho State 'of Illinois of November 1, 1858, the circulation of the Illinois Banks, was $5,-707,018. Specie in hand, 209,585.87. Now here is a bank circulation of over 5,700,000, having a specie basis of less than five cents on the dollar to secure its redemption, and that in a State whoso affairs havo always been under the control of Democratic financiers. Bad enough, but her circulation is, according to orthodox Democratio standard, worth just four cents and seventy-two hundredths on the dollar moro than that of Iowa, a State always hitherto blessed with unadulterated Democratio philosophy. I have endeavored to ascertain tho state of the Banks in Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan, but have failed to do so. By the November report of the Banks in Ohio, I find that since August 1st, that is, in three months, Their specie has decreased JISO.SSW.M Their circulation has Increased 4;V2,ni:i.50 Khnwinir an acirn-irate nt Nov. lit, of. 0,8tlo,74.'.rt2 Public dues levied during 18.',H, Including tolls.. 0,758,718.110 Excess of money over taxes, Ac S107.W7. (12 I am pointed to the accumulation of specie in our exporting ports, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Now Orleans. I have, and have before expressed, doubts of the verity of thoso reports; but aside from that view of the subject, whence, havo the New York City Banks, for instance, swelled their specie in a year from five to twenty-seven millions! The fable of the bull who declined visiting the royal beast in his palace because he saw the tracks of many entering, but of nono returning, has some points not inappropriate to the question in hand. If it is accumulated at those points, it is because it is in the course of commerce withdrawn from the interior. And now comes the question, is a policy which drains tho specio from the coun try a good policy? And another: Is a policy which strips tho country of specio and at the same time requires publio dues to bo paid in specio, consistent with itself or with good gov ernment? We sent nhroad during tho last fiscal year over 52,000,000 in specie. Had we so balanc ed our commercial operations as to retain that at home, and to add 20,000,000 per annum to our circulation to meet nnd provido for our iu creasing population, and our expanding pro ductions and internal commerce, wo might con- sistently, those of us who preferred it, talk o public dues being collected and disbursed in specie. Not then, however, collcctod in ono nnd dislmrsed in tho other. Thcro is no charm in an iron safe which can transmute bank bills. however eood,?into gold or silver, Let us us see how specio nnd population, in 1835, in a few Westorn States, compared with the same in 1858.

STATIST1CUS. Steobenvilie, Dec. '58. The Illinois Election -The Senatorshlp and Popular Sovereignty. Editor Ohio State Joubnal: The Illinois election, of 1858, is over. It has been an exciting one, and of unusual interest, throughout the Union. The contest was for tho Senate. The arbiters were tho voters of the Stato of Illinois. To them the question was put, Shall Douglas or Lincoln be the Senator to represent the State of Illinois in the Senate of the United States? Upon this question, have the people of that State voted. That is the question which, by those votes, they have decided. How has it been decided? Which of the parties has triumphed? Douglas and his friends claim the victory. They aro jubilant over the vote. Let us try the question by the central, cardinal, distinguishing article in the Douglus orecd "Popular Sovereignty." The people must be obeyed. From their decision there is no appeal. All should submit to thoir will. Upon this principle Douglas took his stand against tho President of his party. Upon this principle, he opposed the nd-mission of Kansas with tho Lccompton Constitution. It mndo no difference to him, that tho convention approved. The people of tho Territory had disapproved! How is it in Illinois? The people, by a decisive majority, have voted that Lincoln, and not Douglas, should be their Senator. Every friend of Douglas in the Illinois Legislature is pledged by the platform of his party by the thousand times repeated declarations of Douglas, tho leader, the standard bearer of his party, to cast his vote for Lincoln, and not for Douglas. Tho same rulo that would mako this a Douglas victory, would have admitted Kansas with the Le-compton Constitution. Tho convention recommended there, what tho people liid condemned by a vote. In Illinois, to elect Douglas, tho Legislature must vote for, what the people have voted against. If Douglas is to stand or fall by his own favorite rulo, he must fall. St. Clairsville, Dec. 0, '58. C. A Curlons Scrap of History. Mr. Editor: The Journal of Deo. 1st and 2d contained a sketch of Elfrida, daughter of Olga, Earl of Devonshire, from ReynoUls'i Miscellany. The following bit of history, pertaining to a late representative of this family, may not bo unintoresting in connection. Tho article was originally furnished for a paper somo hundreds of miles distant. The facts aro gleaned in part from a work entitled "Romance of the Peerage," and in part from tlio personal observations of an English resident. "Tho lato Duke of Devonshire, William Cavendish, D. C. L. was a surreptitious heir to the estates and titlos he had onjoyed through lifo. The fraud by which ho succeeded to tho dukedom and its princely revenues, was this: The Duchess, his reputed mother, gave birth to a female child within the hour thata male child was born of anothor woman under tho same roof. The children were exchanged; but one of tho physioians who attondod thoir birth and assisted in tho fraud, having somo quarrel with tho old Duke, when tho heir apparent was about xtccn years old, disclosed tho transaction. The Earl of Burlington, another Cavendish, and next in succession to the dukedom, con sented, for the honor of the family, that tho reputed son should succoed to tho estate and titlos, on condition that he should not marry. Ho bo succeeded, and dying unmarried, the dukedom devolved on the presont Earl of Burlington. The London Dispatch related tho matter a few ye ars ago, and stated that the Duke had a left- hund marriago with a lady in the north of England, with whom he spent a part of every year. A left-handed, or morganatic marriago boing a continental institution, and not allowed by the laws of England, the term left-hand was probably intended as palliativo of an unlawful connexion. Since the demise of the Duke, a man has appeared who claims to be his soil and hoir, bv a private marriage. A Cavendish of the Burlington branch has made a communication to a London paper, in which ho says that he has no wish to deprive the aspirant of the honors of his birth, (an exquisite sarcasm,) but if he could prove that tho lato Duke had violated his engagement of celibacy, there was ample evidence that he had no legitimate claim to the es tate and honors he had onjoyed. Probably the Earl of Burlington is sccuro in the Duko- dom. But, alas ! for the sequel of tho late Duko's history. It turns out that ho who has boon Lord of Chatsworth, the most magnificent ducal pal ace in England, a learned, amiable and munificent peer of tho realm, was buried in the church yard of tho parish of Hardwick, without evon a headstone, and so is not permitted to repose in the tomb of tho Devonshire. Sic transit gloria mundi. Columbus, Dec. 8. The spiritual intercourse is certainly enlarg ing. A spirit, not long smco, waiteu on juugo Edmonds and wanted him to take n drink thro' an earthly medium. Tho Pawtuckot Oaielte relates the following pleasant incident of spiritual communication which quito exceeds the Judge's story: "An cnthusiastio believer was relating to a skeptic tho spiritual performances to which he could testify, and among othor things said thnt on a certain occasion tho spirit ot his wile, who had been dend several years, returned to him, nnd seating herself upon his knoo, put his arm around him, and kissed him asjmuch to her gratification as she used to when living. 'You do not moan to say,' rcmarkod tlioskcptio, 'that tho spirit of your wife really embraced nnd kissed you?' 'No, not exactly that,' replied tlio believer, 'hut tho spirit took possession of tho body of a female medium, and through her cmbaced and kissed mo.' We prcsnmo that bolicvcrs aro often as willingly decoived ns this man was." SonnutiM CmKB. Tho Nnshvillo (Tenn.) Homestead, says that besides tho excellent syrup and sugar made from the Chinese sugar cane, thoro is yet another article obtained from it which is of a pleasant, taste, and doubtless healthy in its consequences. It is by putting tho expressed juice of tho cano into any clean wood or glass vessol, allowing it to stand ten or twelve days, when it assumes the nppcarnnco of limpid wntor, nnd fit for use. The llavoris similar to our best cider, and wo supposo might be proporly called cane cider. Domestic Yeast. Ladies who are in the habit (and a most laudable and comfortnblo habit it is) of mnking domcstio bread, cake, &o., are informed thnt they can easily manufacture their own yenst by attending to the following directions: Boil one pound of good flour, a quarter of a pound of brown sugar, and a lit t lo salt, in two gallons of water, for one hour. When milk warm, bottle it, and cork It close. It will be fit for use in twenty-four hours. Ono pint of this ycaBt will make 18 pounds of bread. A Quaker Poet on Amusements. Somo timo since, Whittier, the Quaker poet, in troduced into a temperance 'meeting at Ames-bury, the place of his residence, a resolution encouraging the cultivation of sooial amuse- mentB ns a security for the young against the temptations to intemperance. A dyspeptic and unhuppy clergyman expresssed great horror at the doctrine, and rebuked it from his pulpit. This called out the following letter from Whittier to the newspaper of the place, the Villager, in which the true idea of innocent and benefi cial amusement is defined about as well as it can be. The Quakers of a former age were about as ascetic as the Puritans themselves in opposition to amusements, but the Quakers of the present day, like other Christians, begin to understand the matter better and to see that human nature is not a thing to be crushed out, but dircotcd and developed. Whittier' s articlo is as follows: 1 have learned with much surprise that a resolution adopted at the late temperance meeting, in this place, has been objected to, as liable to be understood as favoring a class of social amusements by no means calculated to promote the moral health of the community. As the author of tho resolution in question, permit me to say, that neither tho langungo of that resolu tion, nor the tastes, habits and well known opinions of its writer, justify any such inference. It recognized the fact of thedesire of t lie young for excitement and amusement, and that that desire was too ofton gratified at tho ex pense of sobriety nnd sound morality. 1 he sole aim of tho resolution was to induce those more experienced nnd better established in the principles of morality to direct that natural, but too often perverted desire, to objects in themselves nnocent and rational; to watch over and regu late, in a spirit of kindness nnd sympathy, tiie nmuscmcnts nnd social pleasures of tlio young, discountenance everything inconsistentwith tho maxims of a morality strict without asceticism, and Christian rnthcr than Pharisaical. I do not believo iu tho propriety of leaving the young to the unrestricted nnd unregulated exercise of thoir love for recreation and sociul en joyment, nor on tho other hand do I believe in tho wisdom or practicability of its cntiro re pression and crushing out. But I do believo in such a combination of authority and sympathy, of wise restraint where necessary, and general encouragement and guidance within proper limits, ns may bo made, under Him, who can alone givo success to human effort, nn important means of promoting tlio temperance and moral health of the youngand inexperienced. I would throw open as far as possiblo, to this class, the curious and beautiful in art, science and literature tho telescopic revelations of astronomy the wonders of geology the lithography, of tho eternal finger on tho primal formations. I would open to them new Bources of enjoyment in the studies of natural history and botany, and show them the almost magical results of experimental chemistry. I would givo them every opportunity to listen to lectures nnd discourses from variously gifted orators and thinkers.I would encourage reading circles healthful sports and exorcises nnd excursions amid tho serene beauty of nature, so woll calculated to exalt the mind towards that which St. Augustine speaks of as the "Eternal Deauty always new and always old." I would promote libraries and debating clubs, whatover, in short, promises to unito social en joyment with the culture of the mind and heart, and the healthful development of a sound mind in a sound body. I do not undervalue other instrumentalities, especially tho higher ones of a religions nature. But at the samo time I believe that a cheerful, social Christian is better than a sour ascotio one. The good old Puritan, Richard Baxter, used to regret his own melan choly and gloomy temperament, nrising mainly from bodily lnhrmity, nnd in the latter part oi his lifo strovo to introduce a more cheerful disposition among his religious friends. "Truo religion," ho says, "is not a matter of fears, tears and scruples: it doth principally consist in obc-dienco, lovo nnd joy." For myself, so far from advocating laxity of moral discipline, I strongly deprecate the li cense nnd weak indulgence which prevails nt the present time. I believe in law and order parental authority tho unescapable responsibilities of the adult members of society in respect to the youngor. But wisdom is profitable to direct; and it is by no means wise to disregard, even for a good object, the natural laws which govern mind and matter. Unnatural repression in one direction is sure to lead to a corresponding protuberance of deformity in another. The folly of the Flathead Indian mother who binds with bark tho forehead of her infant until the frontal portion of the head is forced backward in idiotio prominence, finds a parallel in all efforts for moral reform which overlook the great laws of our being. Washing for Diamonds in Georgia. A correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle says: You will be surprised, probably to learn that arrangements are now being made to oommence washing for diamonds in Georgia; yet it is true. Two localities liave been found where the true matrix, with nil its accompanying materials, are found in abundance; and from the upper section in Hall and other counties, several have been found of tho finest quality. The clnstio sandstone (Itacolumito, the truest matrix of the diamond) extends quito across the State; but diamonds have been found only in those places where gold washings are carried on, being found in the sands of the rilllcrs with tho gold; elsewhero they havo never been sought after. Tho other locality hns but recently been discovered, and is limited in extent merely a protru sion of tho sandstone and magnctio and specular oxide of iron through tho surrounding pyiric t auriferous) slates, together with nnmonso quantities of Stella talo of unparalleled beauty, associated with magnificent crystals ot rutile from a few lines to four inches in diameter. Tho Itacolumito is thickly imbedded with splendid crystals of Inzulito of three difforont forms. The lazulite is a very rare mineral, found in but few places in tho world; is one of tho accompanying minerals of tho Brazilian Diamond Mines. Oold exists in tho syritio stntes on tho south sido of the mountain, which is a corresponding formation with tho celebrated Dorn Mino in South Carolina. Thoy also exhibit every external evidence of the existenco of copper, lead and silvor. That diamonds abound hero, there can bo no doubt; yet they may be so scarco as to render it unprofitable to mino for them alone. In Hull county they are found in tho gold-de posit washings, nnd cost them nothing to find them, comparatively. A letter from Paris says: "Tho expense caused tho Emperor by his visit to Coinpitlgno is described to bo prodigious; nil tho household is there, and tho household is vast in number, nnd dear to keep; the hunting establishment is there, nnd it oxeceds in number and mngnificence, and consequently in cost thnt which Charles X. used to maintain and yet dearly did that royal Bourbon love hunting, and right roynl was his vene-rie; guests of high degree are there, and have troops ot lackics witli tnem; ana last, but not least, the cntiro companies of various Paris theatres ore tnken down twice or thrice a week to nmuse the distinguished party; and what in pay and presents, nnd travoling nnd ' incidental expenses,' those companies absorb a good deal. Nor is it only tho Emperor's purse that bloods; the guests themsolves have to buy uniforms of green nnd gold for the hunts, and the ladies are required to appear in two new dresses a day." Salk of a Circus. It is said that Dan Rico, the American humorist, has sold out his interest in the establishment known as "Dan ltico's Great Show," of which he owned two-thirds. It is also stated that he received $25,000 in cash and a traotof land in Toxas containing 17,741 nores, on which he intends to settle many poor families, From Japan. The following extracts from a letter written by Mr. Harris, the enterprising Consul General General at Japan, to an officer of the Navy who was in the Japan Expedition, will be read with interest: 17. S. Consulate General, Simodn, Japan, July 12, '58. J Dear Sir: Your letter of March 6, 1857, did not reach me until the 20th of August last. The reason I have not written you in reply before this is that I have had no opportunity of dispatching any letters since the 11th of September, 1857; and am even now quite ignorant of the time I shall be able to forward you this. I havo suffered much from ill health since my arrival here, which has almost paralyzed my efforts in collecting objects of na'ural history. I am now recovoring, and hope soon to Vs quito well. I have visited the city of Yedo twice, and have had an audience of the Emperor. I passed nearly six months iu Yedo, during my two visits, nnd succeeded at last in making a commercial treaty that fully opens Japan to our enterprising citizens, and brings Japan fairly into tho great family of nations. Of course I cannot give you the particulars of tho treaty until it has been approved by government, but I may bo permitted to remark that when the treaty shall bo published, it will show I was not forgetful of our navy. Yedo is a large city cf two story woodon buildings. Tho streets aro generally wide and well sewered, but are not paved. It is probablo that tho population is between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000. There is neither beauty or splendor to bo found thcro. The exterior of tho houses is tho same ns those you saw at Simoda and Kanngawa, nnd tho interiors are quite as destitute of furniture or ornament. Even tho palace of tlio Emperor is built of unpaintcd wood, and is equally bare of furniture. The golden columns and roof's Bpoken of by old writers havo vanished, if they ever existed, and I nm assured by tlio Japanasc that their buildings nnd modo of living aro precisely tho same they have been for the last five hundred years. I am, sir, yours most respectfully, TOWNS END HAKRIS, Consul General. Art and'iterature. Wick kd Memoirs. European royalties are to bo fluttered in a week or two by a very extraordinary book. The Empress Cntharino of Russia was a most energetic personage. She could not bear to be idle, and yet disliked the society bf moro than one person nt a time; and bo, to kill time, in the intervals of business and sensuality, sho wrote her memoirs, nnd, what is worse, sho told tho truth. Tho manuscript was found in her specially private book nt her'dcath. It was for many years kept a profound secret, a family court mystery ; but Alexander, not liking to havo it near lain, placed it among the State archives with Peter's will and such other awful documents. Some one copied verbatim the memoirs of the vicious Empress, nnd tho copy was placed in tho hands of a Mr. Herzcn, a Russian millionaire, who, years ago, escaped into British protection, having previously got his property into the British funds, and who now carries on nn untiring war against the Russian despotism a journal he publishes in the Russian language, selling secrotly many thousands among the Russians themselves scattered in France and Germany, nnd even among Russians in Russia. This Herzcn has, of course, grasped at the memoirs as a new weapon and a new.articlc in his propaganda; nnd the firm of Trubuer & Co., backed by tho sovereigns of tho ex-Russ, dare to publish the book in French. Catharine, truo to her sex, makes many awkward revelations, but ono affects the honor of tho Imperial family in a terrible way. Mio declares emphatically that her husbnnd, the Czar, was not the papa of his children ! Bold in Catharine and damaging to the Czar certainly but sho effectually "clinches" the confession by mentioning the nnmo of the father of her successor, Paul, and thus it comes out that the royal house of Romanoff now reigning is illegitimate, and is, therefore, an usurpation. In Russia they may not think much of it even if it is true and not a vindictivo canard; so many othor royal houses, however, have intermarried with the Romanoffs thnt there will a very general disgust in the "higlicst circles," especially in Germany, where pedigree is of even more consequence than tobacco. Tho book will undoubtedly bo one of the sensations of the winter, and may lead to protocolling and imperial domand for the surrender of Ilerzen, and the hanging nnd drawing and quartering of presumptuous Trubuer & Co. Boston Post. Aoassiz as a Sportsman TiieMicroscopb and the Gun. Prof. Agnssiz was a membcrof a party of Bciontifio men and litterateurs, from Boston nnd its vicinity, whose campingout laBt summer in the Adirondack region, is celebrated by a writer in the last Atlantic. Among other sports these tavans indulged in shooting, and in the absence of game more adapted to stir up the blood, it was their custom to fire at the butt end of a junk bottle. It was found that Agassi was the best shot in tho party, and not only that, but n very excellent shot, whose ball went straight homo ovcry time, guided by n steady hand, and an eye thnt wandered not a hair's breadth from the mark. And yet the distinguished naturalist was no sportsman, had never practiced with firearms, nnd his skill was merely the result of long practice in the use of the microscope. Tho muscles of tho cyo and of the hand had beon brought under such control, and disciplined to such accuracy in the use of this instrument, that the professor found himself unexpectedly bearing tho palm in an untried art. Science had re warded his devotion to her causo by endowing l:im with a now accomplishment. Mr. Palmer is to enter, during this ensuing year into tho department of historical scripture. He is to prepare for tlio family of Governor Marcy a portrait bust of that distinguished statesman ; and ho is to nchiove a more difficult labor in the bust of Alexander Hamilton, which ho is to mould for the library of Hamilton Fish. It is well that the enduring record of these men is committed to a chisel that will mako the mar-blo a truthful ns woll as beautiful perpetuation of feature. During Mr. Palmer's summer rcsidonce at Aurora, ho lost an interesting child, who bore the name of tho sculptor's intimnto friend, that gifted painter, Church. This artist has drawn, t'n memoriam, upon a calm and plnoid lake, the setting of a singlo star. Tho poncil that could, as no ono else in all the range of delineation, place Niagara on the canvas, gives to the gentle and mournfully associate subject a beauty which will make it of tho moBt valued of memorials. And such are tho monuments that will endure when churchyard and cemetery are obliterate in thoir decay. The N nines of Newspapers. Newspapers pick up thoir names, often by imitation, conscious or unconscious, of old papers. Thus tho New Orleans "Picayune," nom-cnclator of many subsequent Picayunes, was called by the slang namo for tho coin for which it was sold just upon the samo principle that the first "Gazotto" was named in Venice from tho coin Gacote, which wo translate as a Venetian farthing. "Journal" was tho natural name for a daily paper, but it has been without reosfln adopted by wcoklics ami monthlies, rrom it other peoplo with book-keeping ideas have dorived tho names of "Day-Books'1 nnd "Lodgers." Many "Pass Books" might have been named, proporly onough, in the same way. The " Globe" was another natural name for a cos. mopolitnn newspapor. From that aftor tho manner of canting heraldry naturally grew tho "Atlas," as tho name of a paper which could sustain tho Globo on its shoulders. Since that tho word Atlas has deservedly become bo favorite a namo, that to most readers it suggests a nowspapcr rather than a mountain or a giant. It would not be surprising if the Boston publio supposed that Col. Schouler or Mr. Haydon had some original connection with the naming of the Atlantic Ocoan. Boston Adv.
